The footballer and captain of Real Oviedo, Santi Cazorla, has been honored with the 2026 National and International Golden Moscón, a prestigious award granted by the Amigos de Grado Association, which this year celebrates its 34th edition.
The award ceremony took place this morning at the facilities of the El Requexón sports city, in an event that highlights not only the sporting career of the blue captain but also his human qualities.
The Amigos de Grado Association wanted to recognize in Santi Cazorla a role model who embodies like few others the values of sports: perseverance, teamwork, camaraderie, and composure both in good times and in the most challenging moments. These principles have made him an example for generations of young people and transcend the purely football-related aspect.
The respect and admiration that Cazorla inspires are also reflected on the field, where he is often applauded, even by rival fans, as a recognition of his career and his behavior both on and off the pitch.
With a career marked by quality, personality, humility, and camaraderie, Santi Cazorla thus adds a new accolade to his name, solidifying himself not only as one of the great figures in football but also as a person who dignifies the sport.
This 2026 Golden Moscón ultimately underscores the value of a footballer who perfectly represents the spirit of Real Oviedo and Oviedismo.
